The Orchestra
Birth
The first session was held in July 2006, in Damascus, Syria. Nearly 100 young musicians from different arab countries, aged between 18 and 26 years old rehearsed in the Syrian capital with workshop professors and german condutor Walter L. Mik, and gave two concerts supporting the Palestinian and Lebanese people. The concert programme included works by Marcel Khalife, Gamal Abdel-Rahim and Antonin Dvorak.The major aims of the orchestra are encouraging pan-arab cultural exchange, promoting global cultural understading while preparing the young musicians to their professional careers.
Second Session
In 2007, the orchestra gathered again, in Germany this time. Young musicians from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria and Sudan took part in the project. After 10 days of workshops and rehearsals, the orchestra gave it's European premiere in Bonn, followed by two other concerts in Bayreuth. The programme included a commissioned work by Algerian composer Salim Dada, Felix Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony and Robert Schumann's cello concerto (with Egyptian cellist Mahmoud Saleh)
